A quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson on character is the topic of this blog post.

“A low self-love in the parent desires that his child should repeat his character and fortune.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

“If only more parents took this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson to heart. If you do not love yourself you cannot possibly love anyone else and that includes your child or children. It sounds so basic but it is so true. I know that it is not impossible to overcome the effects of a negative childhood, it is possible if you put your heart and soul into it.” Stan Burman

A quote by Bruce Lee on the difference between knowledge and character is the topic of this blog post.

“Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.” Bruce Lee

“Bruce Lee shows that he was not just another action movie star with this awesome quote. Knowledge will indeed give you some power but if you lack character you should not expect to earn much respect. Knowledge without character to me seems like an empty vessel. I would much rather be respected than to have power. I also believe that anyone who is widely respected actually has as much or more true power than someone who has a lot of power but who is not respected.” Stan Burman

A quote by Thomas Paine on character and reputation is the topic of this blog post.

“Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.” Thomas Paine

“This quote shows the wisdom of Thomas Paine. Everyone is so worried about their reputation but what they should be more worried about is their character. Because while a good reputation is an important asset it is not as important an asset as having good character. Character is the most important asset that you can have as anyone with good character must have a good soul and sense of spirituality. Anyone more concerned with their reputation than their character is not someone I want to associate or do business with.” Stan Burman

A quote by Dave Willis on showing respect is the topic of this blog post.

“Show respect to even to people who don’t deserve it; not as a reflection of their character, but as a reflection of yours.” Dave Willis

“I agree with this quote by Dave Willis even though I know that can be really hard to show respect to people who do not respect you. I have met many people in my life that did not deserve any respect but I treated them with respect anyway even though I did not always want to. This quote is absolutely true in that anyone who can show respect to people even though they do not deserve it has character as far as I am concerned.” Stan Burman

A quote by Billy Graham on character is the topic of this blog post.

“When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.” Billy Graham

“This is an excellent quote by Billy Graham. Lost wealth can often be earned back or otherwise replenished. On the other hand someone who loses their health loses something far more valuable as health is much more valuable than wealth. I would rather be poor and be healthy than to be a billionaire in an iron lung or some similar situation. But even lost health can sometimes be regained. But lost character is the hardest of all to regain because someone who has lost their character has in fact lost the most valuable possession of all. Character is very hard if not impossible to regain unless a person works really hard at it.” Stan Burman

A quote by Harvey Mackay on integrity is the topic of this blog post

“This is a great quote by Harvey Mackay. Integrity is essential to success in business just as it is essential to success in other areas of life such as personal relationships. People with integrity prefer to deal with other people who have integrity in a classic case of like attracts like. I know that I would much rather deal with someone who I know has integrity than to deal with someone whose integrity I am not sure of. When in doubt I will choose the person with integrity over any other attribute whether that be experience, price, whatever. Integrity comes first for me as I have learned my lesson in the life school known as the school of hard knocks and have dealt with people who had little or no integrity and have suffered as a result.” Stan Burman
